Before you clean up

Your photos are your proof. Take them first.

Before you pull carpet, toss soaked furniture or tarp the roof, walk through and photograph everything, as long as it is safe. My checklist makes it quick, and you can send the photos straight to me.

  • Every room, wide, from the doorway
  • Ceilings, stains and water lines on walls
  • The roof, all four sides, from the ground
  • Fence, outside AC unit, trees and debris
  • Damaged items, labeled, before they go out
  • Receipts for hotels, food and supplies

Questions

Straight answers.

What does "No Recovery, No Fee" mean?

It means if I don't win a settlement for you, you owe me nothing. I only get paid when you do.

What areas do you serve?

Pensacola, Pensacola Beach, Gulf Breeze, Navarre, Milton, Fort Walton Beach and Destin, and the rest of the Florida Panhandle. I come to your property in person.

Do I need to file with my insurer first?

You can call me first or your insurer first. Either way, report the damage to your insurance company as soon as you can, and take photos before you clean up. I can help you from the very first call.

Can you come out to my house?

Yes. I inspect every property in person, inside and out, using infrared thermography to find hidden moisture and damage. Book a time online, or call or text me.

Can you reopen an old claim?

Yes. If you've been underpaid or denied in the past, I can reassess your case and potentially uncover damages missed in the initial evaluation.

How long does the claims process take?

It varies depending on the complexity of the damage and the responsiveness of the insurance company. However, my experience and negotiation skills help expedite the process.
